Food for Thought



Among the gazillions of food blogs are some that always feature a subject you know and love -as long as you know and love what the blogger has chosen to write about. When a blogger has a passion for a specific subject, they have no trouble finding enough material, no matter how narrow the chosen subject. Even if it’s only one particular dish.

“Bento” is Japanese for lunchbox, and “Kyaraben” or “Charaben” means character bento, or lunches that look like works of art. Anna the Red's is a Bento maker that truly makes food into art. (Babar Bento box shown above)


There’s no shortage of excessive foods, and the recent trend of combining rich foods into a overindulgent culinary orgy is a sure way to get attention on the internet (remember the Luther Burger?). This is Why You’re Fat collects those incidences of outrageous calorie consumption for your amusement. At least it’s supposed to be for amusement. Shown are Bacon Cheese Turtleburgers, a combination of ground beef, cheese, and bacon with hot dog limbs.

This next blog definitely strikes a chord with me, as a hospital employee. I never hear the end of the complaints about the food. Now, I think that, for hospital food, my hospital’s cafeteria isn’t too bad. Although, some patient’s are impossible to please. Hospital Food is a photo blog that shows you what hospital patients are eating all over the world, mostly submitted by readers.

What’s for School Lunch? is a similar blog with some information about each meal. Both blogs will make you consider moving to France.
